Congress Moves to Repeal Obama Care and the EPA Pulls the Permit from a Major Coal Mine

January 18th, 2011

With a rough couple of weeks behind us the political wrangling of government is back underway. The House is picking up its bill to repeal the Obama health care law this week. There seems to be a push on the part of more moderate Republicans and Democrats, (with the help of the twenty four hour news networks), to guide both the House and the American people to accepting portions of the law and only dismantling the “unpopular” portions. This just seems to me to be more incrementalism, at least in the sense of gaining the American people’s acceptance. While I agree that the cost of health care is way out of control, this law has got to go! We simply cannot afford the monstrous government take over that Pelosi’s House rammed down our throats two falls ago! I for one favor scrapping it altogether and starting over with more cost effective measures that don’t empower the national bureaucracy.

The Executive branch is also taking a hard line as the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) is currently going ahead with plans to revoke the permit for a large coal mine in West Virginia. So yet another form of energy found to be harmful to mother earth is being restricted. So how exactly are we supposed to keep ourselves warm and alive in the winter months? Does the EPA’s even care? The move is even drawing the ire of West VA’s Democratic senators, who correctly foresee job losses and an economic hit coming to their state. This is a telling moment for the nation and the president who is supposedly moderating his tone in the same manner that President Clinton did following his mid- term defeat. I think the EPA’s continued tyranny points to the fact that President Obama has no intention of softening his far left agenda at all.

The fact is stopping this closure should be a sure win for the president. He could combat the notion that he’s anti business and perhaps point to new “jobs saved” or even job growth figures. Which by the way would possibly help his numbers in the polls. But the president believes too strongly in his ultra liberal vision for the country. It seems to me that he cares not a whit about the effects his radical agenda is having on the average American, except in so far as it affects his political prospects, and maybe not even then.

Finding the perfect Commercial Facility in Tyler Texas

December 14th, 2010

Tyler Texas Commercial Facilities For LeaseEast Texas is looking like one of the best areas to invest in commercial property. While other states and cities nationwide have seen a decline in affordable mortgages, and an increase in foreclosures, places such as Austin and Tyler, Texas and neighboring cities have continued to see a steady increase in sales.

There are also new shopping malls being built, and high end stores that are a great opportunity for an investor looking for a prime location. Due to the cost of living being so affordable, more and more people are looking to start new businesses, and purchase a home for their families. This makes it the ideal market for those house flippers as well as commercial investors. With properties not staying on the market too long, investors know they will not have to wait long to sell the property and make some money.

Glow in the Dark Media

December 21st, 2009

As a child, I grew up watching my father try to create a production company called Glow in the Dark Creative Media. In the beginning, he and his business partner lacked personnel, social connections, and money for nice equipment. Time after time, the business was turned down for jobs due to lack of experience. I felt bad for him when he came home from a long week of work, and still had little business coming in. Some years were financially harder than others, but dad never lost hope and always worked hard. The lack of funds made hiring employees nearly impossible. Most of the time my father and his business partner had to do double, even triple the work in order to get things done, but all the hard labor and diligence slowly began to pay off.

Over the years, dad gained more and more knowledge about media, editing, and advertisement; as his knowledge grew, so did his business and clientele. Dad’s creativity and work ethic drew more clients to the business. Finally after five or six years, dad was able to hire his first employees. The workers helped to complete projects more quickly, but at times it made finances even tighter. This made yet another difficult situation, but as time progressed and through even more work, this problem was also solved. Dad taught and still teaches all of his employees how to master each job required for media production. The business’ clientele began to grow and new jobs poured in. Initially, the business only filmed football games and weddings, but they have since branched out and began filming commercials, promotional videos, music videos, and even local movies. Word has spread about the business, and the small company is currently receiving job offers from out of state. Now with nearly a decade’s worth of experience, more employees, and updated equipment, Dad’s small, yet productive, business still continues to grow to this day.
